If we take an OT and 24 and these are your choices, who are you going with
Same. Mims has enormous upside. Might be too good to pass up if availableMims, Kingsley, then Guyton.
He just has the durability question marks and what I hear has strong characterSame. Mims has enormous upside. Might be too good to pass up if available
Heard Duke Mayweather state Mims is going to go much higher then where many are projecting himMims by a mile. For a guy who barely played in college, he already looks pro-ready, which is a huge kudos to the Georgia coaching staff.
You actually can't find a lot of negatives on his scouting report. "Slow to kick-slide" - well yeah, he's 6'8" and 340. The flip side is when you're that big and long and have 36" arms, you don't need to be fast... your opponents are already going on a day-hike just to get to the corner. "Inconsistent hand placement" - well most rooks struggle with that, punching freak athletes who are trying to avoid you is pretty tough.
When you break it down, the criticisms of Mims' film are pretty nitpicky. He's billed as this high-risk project player, but he's quietly a much better prospect than that. It's just hard for him to stand out in such a deep and talented class.
Kingsley and Guyton are both far rawer tackles, who are going to need development to handle NFL pass rushers. On tape, I think Guyton looks a little closer to realizing his potential... Kingsley in particular looks really rough. But the real question with both of those guys is work ethic. Are they going to put in the time and effort to perfect their craft, or just kind of be content where they're at. That's something that we as fans can't really know, but it's critical for their pro projection.
Other than being a giant of Man, I don’t get the love for Mims at all.Mims has injury issues but i would still think our FO has rated him highly.
